All but two Major League Baseball teams are in action this Monday as new series get started all across the league. Nine games are on the main DFS fantasy baseball slate, which begins at 7:05 p.m. ET. While Rivalry Weekend is behind us, five of the nine games on the board this Monday are divisional matchups, so the opponents should be facing familiar foes for the most part. A few of the matchups set up some great MLB DFS stacks to consider as you assemble your fantasy team for DraftKings’ contests this Monday night.

Before we get to the individual selections for these contests, let’s define exactly what we’re searching for. An ideal target for MLB DFS stacks is a team well-positioned to score plenty of runs based on its matchup and ballpark. “Stacking” is the strategy of adding multiple players from the same MLB lineup to your roster to boost each other’s production.

Ideally, MLB DFS stacks focus on players who are either back-to-back or from the same part of the lineup to allow positive correlation. Since most run-scoring plays produce fantasy points for multiple players, stacking a high-scoring team can carry your entry to the top of the leaderboard. The key to MLB DFS stacks paying off is finding the perfect matchup to attack, so let’s take a look at the top spots.

1. Chicago Cubs

Seiya Suzuki ($5,400)
Nico Hoerner ($4,500)
Michael Busch ($4,300)
Ian Happ ($4,200)
Moises Ballesteros ($3,900)
Miguel Amaya ($2,900)

Hitting conditions look like they will be extremely favorable for the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday as they welcome in Brandon Sproat ($6,900) and the Brewers. Sproat is 1-2 in his eight games (six starts) this season with a 5.75 ERA and 5.73 FIP. He has served up eight homers in his 36 innings, with four to righties and four to lefties. Both sides of the Cubs’ stack make sense in this spot, where wind-aided homers could make them a very profitable stack.

I highlighted Suzuki in my grand slam payout picks since he has seven homers in only 33 games. He has averaged 9.5 FPTS per game in his 16 home games with a .409 wOBA. Hoerner has hit safely in five of his last seven games with three walks and two stolen bases and is thriving in the leadoff spot. Busch hit his fourth homer of the season on Sunday and is averaging 8.6 FPTS in his last nine games.

Happ is only hitting .228 on the season, but he has produced 11.5 FPTS at home, while Ballesteros or Amaya can be solid value plays behind the plate, depending on how stretched your salary cap space is. Amaya homered on Saturday and has reached base safely in eight straight games with multiple at-bats.

2. Houston Astros

Yordan Alvarez ($6,300)
Christian Walker ($4,500)
Jeremy Pena ($4,500)
Isaac Paredes ($3,300)
Zach Cole ($2,800)
Brice Matthews ($2,800)

The Astros are in Minnesota, and if the rain holds off, they should be in a favorable matchup against starter Kendry Rojas ($6,000) and potentially Simeon Woods Richardson ($6,000) out of the bullpen. Rojas is taking Woods Richardson’s spot in the rotation after the 25-year-old righty posted a 7.71 ERA and 6.50 FIP across 42 innings in nine starts. Righties smashed Woods Richardson with a .369 batting average and a .454 wOBA. Rojas has been working mostly out of the bullpen this season as a long reliever. He gave up one run in 3 1/3 innings to the Guardians and one run in two innings to the Marlins in his two appearances since his most recent promotion. He likely won’t be around long, even if the rain holds off, and he has a 44.4% hard-hit rate and 16.7% barrel rate against him, setting up the ‘Stros for success.

The Astros will likely get Pena back in the lineup after missing just over a month with hamstring and neck issues. He will likely slot into the roster spot of Jose Altuve (oblique), who is headed to the IL. Matthews could get most of the work at 2B and has hit .204 with four homers and two stolen bases this season. He’s averaging 7.8 FPTS per game on the road this season.

Yordan Alvarez has been rolling, as my colleague Dan Johnson highlighted in his home run props. Alvarez has averaged 10.1 FPTS per game this season and 8.5 FPTS over his last 10. He and Zach Cole will be in a lefty-lefty matchup against Rojas, but that may not last very long. Cole had two games with at least 13 FPTS in his last five contests.

3. San Francisco Giants

Rafael Devers ($4,400)
Casey Schmitt ($3,800)
Jung Hoo Lee ($3,600)
Matt Chapman ($3,400)
Harrison Bader ($2,600)

The Giants haven’t normally been a very good stack this season, as their offense has been one of the worst in the MLB. However, they won two straight to close out their weekend in Sacramento, scoring 16 runs and maybe getting some momentum.

They have a favorable matchup to keep mashing as they face the Dbacks at hitter-friendly Chase Field. Arizona’s starter Zac Gallen ($6,600) has been very inconsistent again this season and is 1-4 with a 5.02 ERA and 4.68 FIP, while his K% has dropped all the way to 15.0%. He has allowed a 10.1% barrel rate against him and given up 17 runs (14 earned) over 14 1/3 innings in his last three starts, losing to the Cubs, Pirates and Rangers.

Bader had the big blow on Sunday with his grand slam that delivered huge bonus bet payouts and has been very effective since returning from the IL, averaging 12 FPTS per game. He has three homers and could be a key to jumpstarting the offense, especially if he hits in the leadoff spot. Devers is also heating up with an average of 9.7 FPTS in his last 11 contests.

Schmitt was the hero on Saturday with a pair of homers and 36 FPTS. He has eight homers and is hitting .297 with a .381 wOBA and 14.2% barrel rate on the year. Lee has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, while going 12-for-44 (.273) with two doubles and a home run. If he slots in second behind Bader, he could be in a strong run-producing spot in a high-scoring game in Arizona.
